From movies I've learned that if a woman wants to induce labor she needs to either have sex, walk around or (where did I see this?) eat hot foods. But in real life, sometimes you just have to dance. To Michael Jackson. In desperation. Dancing mom, we salute you! »2/17/15 3:30pm 2/17/15 3:30pm

We're hitting the afternoon hard here on Jezebel, and what better way to deal with the "after lunch blahs" than to check out something really cool? There isn't one! Check out this flower. You are never going to guess what it's made of. Not in a million years. »10/11/14 12:56pm 10/11/14 12:56pm

We absolutely loved the Duck Tales cover (I still go back to just listen to it—it's a great song), and now Scott Bradlee and his crew are back with their latest take on a cartoon theme song as part of their Saturday Morning Slow-Jams series. This time they jammed on the 'Gummi Bears' theme song and it is delightful. … »5/18/14 5:00pm 5/18/14 5:00pm

What a beautiful parrot, no? Look at all those colors, those beautiful feathers, that elegant tail (bear with me, I am no a parrot aficionado, I am just trying to get you into the mood.

Next time you're trying to decide whether to tip your server 18 or 20% (you'd never tip less, right?), think of this: an anonymous woman tipped three waitresses $5000 each after overhearing them discussing how hard it is to pay their bills and school expenses with their regular earnings. »2/04/14 6:10pm 2/04/14 6:10pm

The internet is a strange and frightening place where anyone can post anything, from home videos of their parrot's first birthday to really sad yelp reviews of private investigators who caught your dad with another woman (sorry, mom!). It's also a place where unsigned artists, those doing it for the love of the game,… »2/01/14 4:10pm 2/01/14 4:10pm

Goddamnit, Kristen Bell, why can't you ever do anything wrong? Why can't you just give us a reason to dislike you like all the other celebrities? how am I supposed to feel good about my choices when you stop by Chelsea Lately and effortlessly talk about both being over skiing (agree, terrifying) and about how you're… »1/18/14 2:26pm 1/18/14 2:26pm

While doing some research for a school project on gay rights, 15-year-old Becca Gorman was shocked to find that Apple's dictionary app includes a definition of the word "gay" straight out of the troubled psyche of a homophobic tweenager: "informal foolish; stupid: making students wait for the light is kind of a gay…»11/13/13 7:15pm 11/13/13 7:15pm

A 99-year-old Iowa woman who dropped out of high school over 80 years ago despite needing only a single credit to graduate has just received her diploma.

Willie Nelson knows a thing or two about music, marijuana, and marriage — and, it's for his thoughts on those three things (and those killer braids!) that he's a stellar example of using celebrity for awesome. »3/28/13 10:15pm 3/28/13 10:15pm

Mike Mika's three-year-old daughter loves playing old video games with him. One day, when they were duel conquering Donkey Kong, she became a bit miffed because she could only pick Mario to rescue Pauline, and not the other way around. That's not only due to Mario being the worst (just ask Wario, he'll tell you all… »3/11/13 10:30pm 3/11/13 10:30pm

If you watch this and don't feel joy in your heart for the world and everything in it, your punishment is to watch it 500 more times until you complete your transformation into pure evil.

Comedian Michael Hartney's partner Turtle was simply walking down his street when some rando idiot called him a "faggot" as he passed. Awesomely/bravely, Turtle took out his (phone?) camera and filmed a confrontation with the dude. »3/10/13 11:30pm 3/10/13 11:30pm

You thought your life was complete. You were so very very wrong. Because until now, you had not seen Upside Downton Abbey, in which Muppet Carson attempts to serve tea and crumpets to Muppet Dowager Countess.
